A virus which is immunologically closely related to the known AR 86 strain of Sindbis virus, was isolated from the vesicular skin lesions of a patient suffering from low fever, malaise, pains in the joints and tendons, and a rash which was maculopapular over the trunk and limbs, but vesicular on the fingers and toes.

To conclude, I hope that this paper, if it does nothing else, will stimulate thought and action that will result in the building up and maintenance throughout the country of a sound organization providing adequate care for the seriously injured victims of road accidents.
